9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Landed his fourth success over hurdles at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in December but yet to get off the mark in this sphere after seven attempts; beaten 30l when third of four finishers at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) four weeks ago; has had wind surgery since and needs to step up. |

3rd 1 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Beaten 10l off this mark in an Ascot handicap hurdle last time after his win in a first-time tongue-tie at Wincanton (good to soft; won on heavy); returns to fences in pretty good form and he's finished runner-up three times in this discipline; thereabouts. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Front-runner; having his 40th career start but a first over 3m when successful at Taunton and he followed up at Plumpton (3m1f; again good to soft); subsequent defeat, again under Murray Dodd, suggests others in here might be better treated. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed improved form when stepping up to 3m to land his sixth success over hurdles, over C&D (good to soft) in February and followed up at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; remains unexposed as a stayer and holds strong claims to land a three-timer. |
4/5 |

1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who has been consistent this season and ended a long losing streak at Taunton (3m, good to soft) 11 days ago; went up 5lb for that but this track also suits him and he remains unexposed as a stayer. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor run in June but has largely consistent record since switched to fences last autumn and seems versatile regarding trip; raced mainly on good ground but handles good to soft; could have a say. |
8/1 |

4th 3 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In the frame all six starts since switch to chasing in the autumn, including course win (2m3f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in March; ran big race when second (albeit well held in the end) over 2m5f here last month; strong claims if stamina holds out over this longer trip. |
7/4 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Rewarded a determined Sean Bowen ride when winning off reduced mark at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in the spring; still well handicapped on older form and unexposed at around 3m but others have more persuasive profiles. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on fast and heavy ground; dual course winner, more recently when clinging on by a short head in December (2m2f, heavy ground); back on the same mark today but he's struggled in his last two runs and needs to get back on track. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict. |
7/1 |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All British Flat wins (five of them) have been at Goodwood but the last four were on soft ground, latest in June 2025; sixth in this race in 2023 and fifth last year, both on soft; last August saw his only run on good to firm in the last three years and he wasn't discredited, but he needs to step up on this year's efforts, particularly as he's 4lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran creditably in sole Sandown attempt (four years ago) but is still seeking a first British Flat success away from Goodwood; modest third there last time in a race he'd won in 2022. |
